Two weeks have passed. May I ask for an ack so this can go in?

May I ask for an ack so this can go in? I don't think mine suffices, but just in case: Acked-by: Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@citrix.com> Thanks, Roger.

May I ask for an ack so this can go in? I’m happy to give you my Ack re the maintainership change, but I’m not qualified to comment on whether it will screw up the get_maintainer script. Perhaps it would be better to send a v2 patch, proposing Daniel Smith as a replacement, to avoid the question of the script entirely.

Perhaps it would be better to send a v2 patch, proposing Daniel Smith as a replacement, to avoid the question of the script entirely. Maybe we should modify the script so that any sections that don't have any Maintainer assigned (no M:) fallback into the rest if that's not the case already? Thanks, Roger.

While mail hasn't been bouncing, Daniel has not been responding to patch submissions or otherwise interacting with the community for several years. Move maintainership to THE REST in kind of an unusual way, with the goal to avoid - orphaning the component, - repeating all THE REST members here, - removing the entry altogether. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com> --- We hope this to be transient, with a new maintainer to be established rather sooner than later. I realize the way I'm expressing this may upset scripts/*_maintainer*.pl, so I'd welcome any better alternative suggestion.
